About this House

What's unique:Full pantryGarage parkingFloor-to-ceiling storage armoire
WALK TO LAWRENCE'S CULTURAL
OFFERINGS & DOWNTOWN DINING
FROM GREAT 2+ BDR LOWER DUPLEX
IN A TRANQUIL TREE-LINED SETTING

The spacious living room opens onto a generous redone kitchen with oak cabinets including a floor-to-ceiling storage armoire and a breakfast bar set apart from the main cooking area. You will definitely have enough room for all your kitchen goodies because there's a full pantry, too! There's even room for a breakfast table in front of the bay window with panoramic views over an expanse of trees and grass. In warm weather, the sweeping side yard right outside your back door will beckon for evening BBQs.

The room off the kitchen would make a fine dining room, or an office/den doubling as a guest room. The two bedrooms are set in the rear of the apartment for privacy. The bathroom is nice-sized and redone. All the floors have newer bamboo planking excepting the kitchen and bath, which are tiled. Garage parking, and the basement offers extra storage space and washer/dryer hookup

This is your chance to rent a place you can make a home you can be proud of, at a price you can afford, on a quiet street nestled behind Lawrence University. We would be pleased to set up a showing at your convenience.

There aren't that many spacious apartments for rent in Appleton, and let's face it: the cheap ones aren't very nice and the nice ones are usually really expensive. Here's a rare chance to rent at the sweet spot -- a place you can make a home you can be proud of, and yet can afford.

    "We have lived in the neighborhood for 19 years. Our house is walkable to downtown and adjacent to Lawrence University, but not in the pathway of students. Each historic home is unique. There are mature trees and some of the homes are on the Fox River."
